Auckland Council is offering grants of up to $50,000 for Waste Minimisation projects.
The funding is open to community groups, businesses, mana whenua, mataawaka, early childhood centres, schools, tertiary organisations and other community-based organisations operating in the Auckland region. Total funding available is $500,000.
The funding will meet half the costs of a project, with the applicants required to fund the balance.
Last year, funding was given to significant projects focusing on reducing construction waste, contributing to the circular economy, rescuing food and diverting food scraps from landfill. Since 2013, about $4.5 million has been distributed to 425 projects. Previous recipients from Mahurangi include the Mahurangi Wastebusters Trust and the Leigh & Districts Ex-Services and Community Club.
Applications close on August 31.
